I'm putting these pics in this section too!!
It's my first attempt at a boardie. It's a 1955 Schwinn Panther. (It was the Voodoo chopper on my website, but I had to change it.)
The bike is still in the building stage, & there's still lots of work I have to do on it, (like weld the pipe, weld a custom seat post & lace up a front disc brake... ) but I think it will be ready in time for the March 7th beach ride!! (^)

Big props to Sportscarpat for the tank!! (Your tanks are awesome bro!!)

Cool. A righteous boardie without frame mods. What is hanging from the fuel tank? Looks like an 8 ball.

Hey VB, is it someone you know out in SoCal that makes those tanks? I might have to have one of those if they are available? I love the looks of the in frame tanks.

Very nice! Are you keeping those bars or are you putting period style racing bars on there. To me that is a very important style feature.

Nice build Norm! And your first boardie, too. Those forks are looking pretty sweet. I need a set of those. I bet you'll put a lot of miles on that bad boy. Keep us posted with more photos as you finish it up.
Enjoy the build,
Pat

I went out today & put on a new smaller pedaling sprocket so I could lower the engine & then cut & weld the exaust... I also welded the new seat post.
After all that I took it for a short spin... It runs great with the new pipe!!! (^)
I'll post pics tomorrow!
